This awesome book is a contribution from Iconic1s. In the spring of 2019, the very first 9.8 of this second printing was auctioned off on eBay. I followed the auction closely, hoping to end victorious, the final bid made me spit my drink out, the victor was someone else. Iconic1s and I had just started interacting with each other on the boards, I found out he won the book and realized I had some friendly competition. The book gifted to me was the second or third example to get 9.8, Iconic1s mentioned he found it on eBay late one night and couldn’t resist. I really appreciate what Iconic1s has done for this set, a real trailblazer, who submitted many of the first 9.8 examples for some of these later printings. Thanks to his support, this registry set now includes slots for all the one shots and multiple printings. Iconic1s’ posts and submissions inspired me to hunt for raw examples to submit myself, a process that has reignited my passion for this set, and for the risk/reward aspect of the CGC invoice.
Story continued in Superman: The Man of Steel #19 (1/93).
